ABSTRACT
Two-dimensional (2D) materials are a subclass of nanomaterials that are extremely thin—typically only one atomic layer thick. These materials’ two-dimensional electron mobility results in special mechanical, thermal, optical, and electrical characteristics not present in their bulk (3D) counterparts. The discovery of graphene in 2004 sparked the discipline’s explosion, which has since grown into a large field of study with enormous potential to transform technology. This review summarizes the current status of 2D materials research, including the ground breaking work of graphene, the wide range of beyond-graphene materials (including M Xenes, transition metal dichalcogenides, and hexagonal boron nitride), their potentially game-changing uses in photonics, electronics, and energy storage, as well as the current obstacles and potential for commercial integration in the future.
Keywords: 2D Materials, graphene, technology, photonics, electronics, energy storage etc.
